INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

    Whenever i think about how many PC Cases already exist in the market and how many new ones get introduced each day i can't help but to wonder if it's for the best or not. Sure you get variety, competitive prices and pretty much every feature you would ever wish for but when you have over 200 cases to choose from how easy can it be in the end to choose the right one for you? However i do think that the good of having many products to choose from outweigh the bad and so today with us we have the latest Thermaltake gaming chassis the Chaser MK-1.

 

 

    Since the beginning of Thermaltake in 1999, they have been at the forefront of creating new and exciting products at a time where most computer users were provided little to no choices for components that may seem irrelevant, but in reality crucial to the performance of a PC.

    The Chaser MK-1 (VN300M1W2N) packs quite a few features which we rarely see with similar products such as a top hot-swap docking station for 2.5” HDD/SSDs or 3.5” HDDs, advanced cable management via the left side panel grooves, water-cooling ready design, and multimedia connectivity via two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, a single eSATA port and two additional USB 2.0 ports found on the top I/O panels. The only real issue we found with the Chaser MK-1 during our in-depth look was with the quality of materials used on both the front fascia and top panel which could be somewhat better but other than that the Chaser MK-1 is really something.
